Having problems with your Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 Notebook ?

I have a Toshiba Satellite with an American keyboard layout (ie. above the numbers says [email protected]#$%^&*, however when when I type shift + 3 instead of # I get a £ sign. (and when I press shift plus 2 I get ") T0 get a # I have to press the backslash key. However this means I can't get a backslash - I need one! Have tried changing the language settings with no joy. Any help? P.S. I bought the laptop in Hong Kong but use it in England.....

Answers :

For a workaround for time being you can use the OSK (on screen keyboard to get a backslash) which can be accessed by pressing the Windows key and the letter "U", or you can go to start > Run and type "osk". Meanwhile I will try to get a proper resolution for this issue. Wait for my reply.

Consult this picture for the keyboard layout that's most likely valid for your model when you select the brithish keyboard layout in Windows:http://www.notebookreview.com/assets/19101.jpgPlease come back with testimonial and rating if helped.Good luck :)
